Pros:
The bat feels great in my hands. I was swinging a 19oz bat, and I got a 20 oz in this bat, but it feels the same weight, but is an inch longer, giving a bigger sweet spot. The feel and sound is great on contact. We took about 100 swings in the cage with real baseballs, and I can't see any markings at all on the bat. I expect the bat to be more durable than a full composite bat.Cons:Only con I've found is the price.

Pros:
My son loves his new bat. First time in the cage and he is meeting the ball with a quicker swing and hitting hard line drives. He is only 9 but this bat has already improved his power. He has always been a good hitter but couldn't stop smiling and thats what it is all about for me as a parent. He says no sting and great power. No marks on the bat after three rounds.Cons:None. Second time I bought a Marucci for one of my boys and the last one was a Black 2 and it was also phenomenal.

Marucci has released two 2015 models similar to the Marucci Elite Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBE14). The 2015 Marucci Elite Limited Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBE11) is a similar bat just in a drop -11. Then there is the 2015 Marucci Elite Limited Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBE5) which is a drop -5.

Is there any composite material in the barrel of this bat or in the alloy used in the barrel? Intermediate Little League is picky on that point.

Asked by Tim on

The top inch of the barrel is made out of composite on the Marucci Elite Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBE14). The Marucci Elite is technically a three-piece bat with a composite handle, alloy barrel, and composite end cap. If the your league does not alloy composite in the barrel, then this bat is probably not legal for play.

Is this bat legal in high school?

Asked by paul on
Dec 01, 2014

The 2014 Marucci Elite Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBE14) would not be legal for high school play because it does not meet BBCOR certification. The BBCOR certified version of the bat is the 2014 Marucci Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat (MCBE14).

Product Description

Based on Marucci's experience at the highest level of the game, Marucci knows that every player can benefit from having a bat tailored to their exact swing and style. Marucci has also learned, however, that the vast majority of players perform better with the most balanced bats. This knowledge, combined with the desire to help build the best hitters in baseball, have been the driving forces behind the development of the Marucci Elite line of bats. While most of the industry was working to shave fractions of ounces from their bat designs, Marucci set out to reduce their barrel weights by over 2 ounces. Such a dramatic weight reduction was not possible with standard bat manufacturing processes, but after a year of intensive research and testing, Marucci has developed and patented such a technology and is incorporating it into their new line of Elite bats. Marucci's patented technology allows for industry best weight reductions by fusing composite and aluminum materials together along the length of the barrel. By replacing the final inches of the bat, including the endcap, with aerospace grade composite materials, Marucci is removing "dead weight" from the bat and replacing it with a highly engineered structure designed to extend the sweet spot and improve the feel of the bat, all while helping to achieve industry-best swing weights. Professional hitters understand the importance of using the best equipment, they know that any small advantage they can gain from their equipment puts them that much closer to success. Marucci's patented multimaterial barrel technology offers players the advantage of increased swing speeds and more control at the plate. Join the ranks of hitters who have learned to expect as much from their bat as they do from themselves. Professionally Inspired. Precision Crafted. Marucci Elite. The Elite features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

About Marucci

When Marucci saw his 4 year old son Gino slide head first into home plate at his first T-ball game (when most of the kids on the team didn't know the difference between first base and third base, or which one to run to), he knew his son shared his love for the game. However, after two seasons of hearing the "clink" of the metal bat in the backyard, Jack and Gino could bear the sound no more.
Searching for a child-size wooden bat proved to be quite difficult, even in the age of the Internet where everything is for sale. Most of the big companies didn't offer smaller bats and would only m.... read more
